| | It’s your dream to be a novelist, to touch readers’ hearts and minds, to excite and wow them, to transport them. And to build a career with your books.
But you don’t know where to begin. Starting is hard.
Things like creating an outline, scenes, or conflict may be confusing, strange, or no fun at all.
Perhaps crafting compelling three-dimensional characters stumps you.
Or maybe you’ve been stuck in the middle of writing your first novel (or fifth) for way too long.
That’s hard.
I know. As a working novelist, I’ve been there many, many times.
But there is hope.
Your dream is the spark. You can light the flame and become a novelist.
How?
Take action.
Learn. Write. Get support. Then rinse and repeat.
For support and learning and a welcoming environment of peers and expert teachers, you can also join us this October for our "Plan Your Novel Like A Pro" live course, just in time to start writing your novel in November with the Nanowrimo challenge.
We meet for the 5 Tuesdays of October, learn, write, discover, play, and above all, help you turn your spark of an idea into a flame of story.
Okay, maybe that metaphor doesn't quite work. Nevertheless, 100s of students have taken this course and gone one to successfully write their novels.
You can too.
In this upcoming course, with specific creativity tools built for fiction writers by fiction writers and real-world tested, you’ll unlock your story’s heart and grow it from the inside out.
In this hands-on October class, we’ll help you brainstorm the steps to create your novel—from character development to plot structure to story themes and world building—so you can start writing your novel with clarity and confidence.
You'll do bite-sized exercises to help you stretch your imagination and get excited about the writing process.
If you have never written a novel, still feel lost on how to go from brilliant idea to The End, or always hit that sagging middle and lose focus, this course will help you dream up exciting ways to torture, I mean challenge, your characters all the way to the resolution of the story.
Bring your ideas and your passion and we'll guide you to brainstorm:
- the essential elements of your story
- your theme and premise
- your character’s story goal and big why
- key characteristics of your character that matter to your story
- your character’s fears and challenges
- the basic story outline rooted in the character’s problems
- key aspects of your story world
- essential stages of a scene
- and lots more!
By the end of the month, you'll have a complete story plan or outline that you can use to write your novel with clarity and confidence.
You'll also get lifetime access to the course material including upgrades, all the course calls, and all the bonuses. All our courses are backed by a 30-day money back guarantee because we want you to succeed with the tools and support that is right for you.
